( no supporting evidence found for this ) Thus presumably one had been shipped over from USA in time for that event as it is most unlikely that the Trafford Park Manchester plant had swung into A production by then. Late spring '28 seems to be the time when Trafford Park got back in serious production

I am sure you tried, but if not, did you try a search of the old newspapers of the times for an article about this "show"?
